He said: Ya'qub told us: My father told us, from Ibn Ishaq, who said: Muhammad ibn Amr ibn Ata' told me, from Nu'aym al-Mujmir, from Rabi'ah ibn Ka'b, who said: I used to serve the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, and attend to his needs throughout the day, until the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, prayed the last night prayer, then I would sit by his door when he entered his house, saying: Perhaps some need may arise for the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him. I would keep hearing the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, saying: Glory be to Allah, glory be to Allah, glory be to Allah and praise be to Him, until I grew weary and went back, or my eyes overcame me and I slept. He said: One day he said to me, on account of what he saw of my devotion to him and my service to him: Ask me, O Rabi'ah, and I will give you. He said: I said: Let me consider my situation, O Messenger of Allah, then I will inform you of that. He said: So I reflected within myself and realized that this world comes to an end and passes away, and that I have a provision in it that will suffice me and come to me. He said: So I said: I will ask the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, for my Hereafter, for he holds with Allah, Mighty and Majestic, the station that he holds. He said: So I came, and he said: What have you decided, O Rabi'ah? I said: Yes, O Messenger of Allah, I ask you to intercede for me with your Lord, that He may free me from the Fire. He said: Who commanded you to say this, O Rabi'ah? I said: No, by Him who sent you with the truth, no one commanded me to say it, but when you said Ask me and I will give you, and you hold with Allah the station that you hold, I considered my situation and realized that this world comes to an end and passes away, and that I have a provision in it that will come to me, so I said I will ask the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, for my Hereafter. He said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, remained silent for a long while, then said to me: I shall do so; so help me on your behalf by prostrating much.
